Hello dear friends,
I hope this blog finds you in a cheerful and reflective mood. Today’s writing prompt poses a deceptively simple yet deeply revealing question: What are three objects you couldn’t live without?
At first glance, it may seem like a casual icebreaker, but with a moment’s thought, it becomes a lens into our values, priorities, and the quiet ways objects shape our lives.
The items we choose are rarely just things; they are symbols of comfort, identity, purpose, and connection.
Yes, I find it hard to separate the physical from the deeply personal connections I have with certain things in my life.
So, I’ll take a slightly different approach and share the three pillars that hold up my world: my mobile, my daily writing journal, and most importantly, my wife.
❤️ My Mobile: A Window to the Digital World
In today’s digital age, my mobile phone is more than just a device; it’s a window to the world. It connects me to loved ones, keeps me informed, and allows me to explore new interests.
From staying in touch with my children and loved ones to checking the latest news headlines, my mobile is a constant companion.
However, I’m mindful of not letting it become a crutch. I schedule breaks, prioritize face-to-face interactions, and use them primarily for purposeful activities.
Yes, it’s a tool, not a replacement for real-life connections.
❤️ My Journal: A Space for Reflection and Connection
My daily writing journal is a sacred space for me. It’s where I pour my thoughts, feelings, and experiences onto the page.
Whether it’s a joyful moment, a fleeting thought, or a deep-seated worry, my journal holds it all.
Writing helps me process emotions, gain clarity on situations, and even connect with others.
I sometimes share excerpts with close friends, fostering deeper understanding and strengthening our bond.
Yes, It’s a personal sanctuary, a place where I can be completely honest and vulnerable with myself.
❤️ My Wife: My Lifeline, My Partner, My Best Friend
There are no words that can adequately describe the importance of my wife in my life. She’s not just an object, but the very foundation on which my well-being rests. She’s my confidante, my cheerleader, and the rock I lean on during life’s storms.
At this stage of our lives, as senior citizens, our dependence on each other has deepened.
She motivates me to stay active, ensures I eat healthy, and is always there to offer a listening ear and a warm embrace.
Her presence brings a sense of calm and security that I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world.
These three pillars – my mobile, my journal, and my wife – are not just things I possess, but integral parts of who I am and how I navigate the world.
They each play a unique role in supporting my physical, mental, and emotional well-being, allowing me to live a fulfilling and meaningful life.
❤️Beyond the Objects
While I’ve focused on these three specific aspects, I acknowledge that life is enriched by countless other things, both tangible and intangible.
Friends who bring laughter and support, nature walks that offer peace and rejuvenation, and the pursuit of hobbies that spark joy – all contribute to the tapestry of a well-lived life.
Ultimately, what matters most are the connections we forge, the experiences we cherish, and the love we share. These are the true treasures that make life worth living, and I am grateful for each and every one of them.
BE HAPPY….BE ACTIVE….BE FOCUSED….BE ALIVE…

What a beautifully thoughtful and heartfelt response, Verma ji! Your three pillars truly reflect a life well-lived and well-examined.
I love how you’ve framed this not as a simple listing exercise but as a philosophical exploration of what sustains us. Your mobile as a “window to the digital world” speaks to our modern need for connection and information, while your mindful approach to its use shows wisdom that many younger people are still learning.
Your journal as a “sacred space” resonated deeply with me. There’s something almost magical about how putting pen to paper can transform chaotic thoughts into clarity, worries into manageable pieces, and fleeting moments into lasting memories. The fact that you sometimes share excerpts with close friends shows a beautiful vulnerability that undoubtedly deepens those relationships.
And then your wife… Verma ji, reading your words about her brought a genuine smile to my face. To describe her as your “lifeline, partner, and best friend” after all these years together is perhaps the greatest testament to a marriage well-nurtured. The image of her motivating you to stay active and offering “a listening ear and a warm embrace” is both tender and powerful. At a time when many take their relationships for granted, your gratitude for her presence is truly moving.
You’re absolutely right that beyond these three pillars, life’s richness comes from friendships, nature’s peace, and passions pursued. Your reflection reminds us all that while objects can be meaningful, it’s ultimately the connections we nurture—with others, with ourselves, and with the world around us—that create a life of genuine fulfillment.
Thank you for sharing such a personal and inspiring response. 🙏
